THE PEOPLE AND NOT THE RAIL-
ROADS RULE.

The Interstate Commerce bill went
through with greater majority than even
its most Sanguine friends had anticipated.
1t now remains for the President 10 aiiix
his signature and for the commission to be
appointed to carry out its provisions.
After more than fifteen years of discussion
of the railroad problem, il is hoped that
the people will now begin TO feel some re-
lief from the ruinOuS Determinations prae-
ticed in many parts of the country. There
are no doubt still some imperfections in the
bill that will cause elashing, but the fact
that such a good beginning has been made.
will soon insure the adoption Of needed
remedies No measure that has passed
Congress for years bodies more good for
the nation than this. Ii reiutes the allie
cation often made, that our national Con-
gress is controlled by the railroads. A vote
of PIG TO Al in the House, and Is to 10 in
the Senate, doesn't look much like the
railroads were in control. This is still a
government of the people by the people,
whatever crUakers may say. The reason
il is so difficult to get legislation is, be-
cause the people can not agree As to what
is hest.

The Ht,Hig,Rccr goes a long distance
out of the way to find something for pohtl-
cal purposes against Attorney General
CALDWELL. II gloats over the fact that
he WAS refused admission to the w. Va
Bar Association. Il should be remem-
berrd that Mr.. CALDWELL was one OF the
first men who signed the call for the meet
ing at Grafton last summer, to organize
State Bar Association, and the only reason
he was not present ut that meeting was
because ne WIS detained ut home by an
important case in Court, and when he gave
his name to Mr.. FLEMING to he presented
at Charleston. he did not know that he
longing to- local organization was a rrquIs-
lie 10 admission.

THE Baltimore and Ohio paymaster,
who visited Newark day before yesterday,
compelled each employe Of the road to sign
pledge TO abstain from the Use OF lntoxi-
eating liquor before he could draw his pay.
The movement is said Ia have started be-
cause of the ugly rumOrs about drunken
trainmen in connection with the Republic
disaster on the 18th inst. Temperance leg
islation of this kind has some effect.
